[Hardas]

I thought Cox was the feel good story.

I see what you did there...

Meh, blind is okay - for a few hours.

Hoping Magpie Bat doesn't mind me quoting from his VFL Player Report [highly recommended, BTW: http://www.thecollingwoodblog.com/blog/?p=2263 on the Collingwood Blog []:
21. Tom Phillips
Dominant, just simply dominant. Played the clear majority of his time on a wing, going had-to-head with either North rookie Will Fordham or their latest old stager in Farren Ray. Collected 33 disposals (of which 25 were kicks), took 9 marks, laid 6 tackles, won 5 clearances, rebounded from defensive 50 twice, sent the ball into our own 50 four times and booted 3 decisive goals. And then there are the intangibles, such as the run he gave us on a heavy deck or the fact that his penetrating left peg was such a trump card to have in our corner on a day when territory was king, or some of his defensive nous when positioning at stoppages.
Two of his goals came from sneaking forward and finding space from his midfield duties, helped by some loose checking from Farren Ray and Declan Mountford, while the other (his first) came from some excellent forward tackle pressure, some good hands and vision from Macaffer allowing Phillips to run onto and boot it through. This week’s goal haul equals his hitherto best against the Blues a month or so back, where finished joint-leading goal scorer that day too.
In short, it was by far Phillips’ best performance as a Magpie. Not that he has much of a body of work to compare it to as a sophomore draftee, but it was a terrific performance regardless. And with few doing their bit to hold their places in the seniors, I would even be prepared to bring him in against the Demons. His running power on the outside, combined with his lethal left boot and a desire and ability to win the hard ball in spite of his lean-ish frame are an exciting combination indeed.

Don't mind at all, but I'm not sure any more than 4 or 5 people give a damn what I have to say...

 

[jefffff34]

I've traded him in to my super coach team.

Congrats on the debut Tommy.

Well deserved.

So him being Named means he take's Cloke Spot?

I'm good, thank you.

 

[Kirby]

I love it when players get selected because they are knocking the door down in the twos. Good on ya Tommy!

 

[Anzacday]

I'm good, thank you.

Assuming most posters are blokes and not good at talking about their feelings would explain the lack of love you feel.
For the record I appreciate your efforts.

I'm guessing it's more to take Oxley's spot.

When I 1st saw him in the Intra-Club. You could tell straight away there was something about him that gave you hope that he could be a Big Steal at Pick 58

Could be a strong love. I'm contemplating it

He won't go up in price until he's played his 3rd game. So wait 2 weeks to see how he goes and trade him in in the third. No point burning a trade when he could potentially bomb out and get dropped straight away.
Hoping he won't though

Playing fantasy elite. No trades to burn. Thinking of trading him in for mundy

 

[Hong Kong Pie]

I brought him into my supercoach team 3 weeks ago! I could just FEEL he was coming good.

Have a great game, Tom!
